Grab-&-Go Bikini Baristas: Arrested for Stripping and More

If you have never heard of the Grab-&-Go Espresso bikini girls, then you are in for a double espresso treat today. These energetic young ladies are giving new depth to the phrase “Grab-&-Go.”

The Espresso establishments in question, found in Seattle, Washington feature “Bikini Baristas,” which is an often-copied strategy wherein girls in bikinis, as opposed to a more respectful outfit, serve customers their cappuccinos. Think of it as the Hooters of coffee.

It would seem that several entrepreneuring young women working at Grab-&-Go took it upon themselves to include a couple extras to perk men up in ways that coffee cannot. Instead of serving up London Fogs, they were fogging up the windows with erotic strip shows.

This is possible because the Grab and Go Espresso “huts” are “built for one” buildings that would afford those women working inside a fair degree of privacy and freedom in which to operate a side business for full frontals.

The police would conduct an extensive 2-month investigation that included extensive video surveillance—one would assume with lots of close-ups.
We arrested the participants in the act,” said Everett police spokesman Aaron Snell to the Everett Herald Net newspaper.

Yet the owner of the Grab-&-Go, Bill Wheeler, is denouncing any accusations or hard video evidence, defending his girls by saying that every customer who drives through a Grab-&-Go is buying a drink.

You would think that it would end here, with the owner caught red-handed trying to save face, but doesn’t. Grab-&-Go Espresso is actually the same establishment where several baristas were arrested for prostitution in 2009.

So either Bill Wheeler is completely unaware of what is transpiring at his establishments, or he is perhaps the biggest pimp in the Seattle area.

In any case, it would seem that “popping out for a quick coffee” is taking on a new meaning in Seattle. If your husband seems to be enjoying that nighttime Americano a little bit too much, you might want to tag along next time.

2013 Tour of California: The Specter of Doping Sidelined by American Victory – An Exclusive Interview with Ted King

ted_king

It’s no secret that American cycling has suffered like a dog under the relentless allegations brought to light by the US Anti-Doping Agency, an organization hell bent on seeking due punishment for cyclists who used performance enhancing drugs to better their careers. Spurred by thorough investigatory tactics and irrefutable evidence, countless US cyclists confessed to using PEDs throughout a whole slew of events, from the Tour de France to the Olympics, all typically in the years prior to 2007. The coup de grace came when once-hero Lance Armstrong, whose seemingly untouchable seven Tour de France titles were a symbol of inspiration to millions of Americans, finally threw in the towel and confirmed what countless skeptics had ranted on for over a decade.

As the dust settled, many brilliant careers were cut short or put on suspension, forever casting them as bad men amidst an even worse culture. Regardless of the validity surrounding these judgments, the sport has continued to pedal on, yet where does this leave American cycling, both for the fan and the rider?

America’s Greatest Race. This title, aptly given to the Amgen Tour of California, describes in three words one of the nation’s most prestigious and successful sporting events, with roughly 750 miles of beautiful terrain. The route, which started in Escondido and finished in Santa Rosa, acted as stadium last week as 16 professional teams from around the globe squeezed every last drop of energy into eight days of battle between man, bike and road.

The Amgen ToC has solidified its reputation as the nation’s most triumphant bike race, offering a hearty platform for domestic athletes to showcase their talents to a large audience. Despite the fallout from Lance and his syringe-prone US Postal teammates, this year’s edition saw American riders shake off the naysayers and cynics, eventually leading to a first place overall victory by 24-year-old Washington native Tejay van Garderen, as well as a stage win by Tyler Farrar of Garmin-Sharp.

Drink of the Week: The Ritz Cocktail

the Ritz Cocktail. What are you willing to give up for a cocktail? If you live in Los Angeles, the answer for the casual fancier of serious mixed beverages might be as high as $17.00 in some joints. If you’re one of the people who actually makes his living trying to make really good cocktails, however, the price might be a little higher still.

As I’m learning from an upcoming film I’m probably embargoed from discussing in any detail, the documentary “Hey Bartender,” the business of dispensing booze can take from a person’s life, but it can also give. However, the price I’m thinking about right now has mostly to do with the garnish — yes, the garnish — of today’s drink.

Fire is involved, and so is my right hand. I like my right hand. It’s helping me type this blog post and it does other nice things for me from time to time. But more about that later. (The garnish, I mean.)

The Ritz Cocktail was created by a cocktail legend I’m not sure I’ve even mentioned here before, and that’s largely due to the fact that I’m still a relative newbie to serious boozing. Although he’s not quite a household name — even his Wikipedia page is a still a stub — Dale DeGroff is credited by lots of folks as spearheading the revival of the lost art of the American cocktail. This started back in the 1980s, when he was at the Rainbow Rock at Manhattan’s 30 Rock, I was still in school, and most of the oldest of you all were lucky to be past the zygote stage….and DeGroff is still a relatively young man for a living legend. Well, his Wiki doesn’t give his age, so it’s hard to be sure.

Today’s drink is contained in DeGroff’s epochal 2002 tome, The Craft of the Cocktail. It’s named in honor of the several legendary bars of the famed Ritz hotel chain founded by César Ritz. Much as Mr. DeGroff has been dubbed “King Cocktail,” Mr. Ritz was dubbed “king of hoteliers, and hotelier to kings.” So far as I know, however, he had nothing to do with the cracker.

The Ritz Cocktail (the slightly heretical and debased version)

3/4-1 ounce cognac, or brandy alternative
1/2 ounce Cointreau
1/4 ounce fresh lemon juice
1/4 ounce maraschino liqueur
Champagne or sparkling white wine alternative
Flamed orange peel (garnish, to be explained!)
